I upgraded to 20GB and paid but I can only use 6GB

I Upgraded to 20GB and paid for it, but I only used 6GB so far, and earlier today I was trying to take a picture and it said my storage was full but I have not used 20 GB what I paid for. I am very confused and frustrated.

The upgraded storage you paid for is for backing up what's on your iPhone. However, you iPhone has a finite storage capacity which is not increased when you upgrade the iCloud storage. You will need to delete unnecessary/unneeded photos and applications in order to free up some space. Be sure to backup the iPhone prior to deleting those files to make room.
The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
The above comes from here:

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

Firefox won't open, instead a pop-up says something like, "You already have one copy running. You can only use one copy at a time. ( It happens repeatedly (I am using a iMac 10.4.11)

I'm trying to open Firefox because, was told the FireFTP is great to use in getting my (completed on iWeb) Website up and running, but I can't even get Firefox to open up, no matter what I have tried. What is it I am doing wrong or missing?!.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I uninstalled it, closed FF in Safe-Mode, reopened it and, ta da!
THANK YOU!

I am being told that I will be charged for Iclod storage but I am only using the free storage.

Dear John Bush,

I am not using any extra storage - only the free allocation.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked who the email is from, don't use any links in the email at this stage.

I have an Apple ID but I can't use it with Find my iPhone?

The title says it pretty much. I am trying to use this app but when i log in with this username it says that the password/username is incorrect? How can I get this working? As well I tried to use this log in at the MobileMe website but it doesn't work as well....

I had the same problem...pretty easy fix.
open your itunes and go to itunes store. Top Right corner go to your account, it should show your account name (I am guessing it is something like Stevesmith). simple edit that/change it to be a full email address that you use. ie. [email protected]
You will need to update the info in all of your itunes account devices/computers/etc. but the find my phone seems to only work with full email addresses as your itunes account login.

HT2731 I have an Apple ID but I can't use it on App Store or ITunes

I made an Apple ID but every time I try to sign in to App Store or ITunes it says that my Apple ID is not signed in to ITunes Store

I think you'll need to do some steps to complete the registration for iTunes. Better contact support for suggestions my friend.

FF4.0 causes my Incredimail client to NOT work. How can I fix this? I luv 4.0 but I can only use one or the other. I need to keep the e-mail client operational, so I reverted back to 3.6.15 for now.

Ok finally I found a place where I can actually submit a bug report and ask for help. Honestly, this web site is the pitz for user friendliness! Firefox 4.0 is causing my Incredimail client program to NOT work. As soon as I degraded back to 3.6.15 then Incredimail worked just fine again, but will not work if I have installed 4.0. That seems to be the only problem I have found.

I'm relieved to know that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem. But why is Mozilla/Firefox developers or troubleshooters not posting any comments on this like perhaps . . . "We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix."
I have not received any communication from them on this forum or on twitter or anywhere else. Anyway I really love FF4.0 and really would like to use both programs together, As it is I have had to go back to 3.6.16 in order to use Incredimail. Firefox/Mozilla, please respond in some form to this request.

How do I download a movie to my phone? when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G? When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone. thanks for any help you can give.

I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

I got rid of AMDS, ASU ,QuickTime and iTunes from control ones I also found folder in Vista with D:\Users\Rick\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library and there is one dated 2009-03012.itl. I moved this file up one folder and delted existing iTunes Library.itl. iTune still failed to identify my iPhone. There are other files iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Geniyes,itdn and iTunes Music Library,xml date dtd 06/18/2009 after upgrade except the latter which is date 06/23/2009. So something is not allowing me to pull or put everything back to when it worked.
YES this is my only iPhone and only PC I have access to with iTunes.
Here is what Apple gave to someone Sunday 28 June:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035950&start=75&tstart=0
I checked these out too and they appear the same printed out nearly a week prior. I agree with Coach TO, if I had bad drivers or Vista errors it would not have shown up only when I updated to latest Version of 8.2.023. My Phone was identified on a PC with iTunes at the local AT&T store. He suggested I get phone into Recovery made while connected to iTunes and that resolves the problem 9 out of 10 time. Weak spot was he tried to get phone into Recovery without iTunes connection and thought I may have iPhone problem, then changed his mind when it worked while connected. He also stated it could take an hour. I have not tried to put my iPhone in Recovery lately, I think I did a while back and it failed to go into Recovery as error "iPhone detected by, not identified..."Has anyone tried forcing phone into Recovery? I understand you may lose all that is on phone. If iTunes still fails to identify would we not be in worse shape even if iTunes holds a recent backup which it does not for many of us? Will Apple take back or exchange phone if yours is not identitifed, AT&T today told me I had to go to Apple Store for this or anything to happen.
